The Garand rifle was officially accepted three years ago, but a consid ble period must still elapse before the army is fully equipped with it. Its manu- facture at the Springfield arsenal has offered some but now the War De tment, well pro- vided with funds at last, is calling on private firms to help speed production.

The disillusionment of these people is a urce Russia’s weakness in years to come.

What are the prob- lems of America’s No. 3 statesman? His latest headache is chewing-gum. It's alll over sidewalks, park benches and other public prop- erty. Mayor LaGuardia says it costs “literally hun- dreds of thousands of dollars a year" to remove used chewing-gum. He has written the leading gum companies ask- ing them to begin an advertising campaign to make chewers wrap up their gum before they shrow it away. He suggests that a “catchy slogan” be used to promote this end. i Unfortunately, LaGuardia does not include the “catchy slogan.” One company has announced that it will paste inside each wrapper the udvxoe “Save this wrapper for disposal of gum after use.” That scarcely has the required zingo. We pass on to our No. 3 statesman for for- warding to the chicle companies the following: or “I do not chew-se to| gum up shoes.” !
